Comments:

League position: 7th Burnley had now won five consecutive games in the top division for the first time since November 1968. This was the first time that the Clarets had scored two goals in the opening ten minutes of a Premier League game. They were now one of four teams who had yet to lose a game in this Premier League season when they had led (also Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur).

Comments:

League position: 8th This was the first time that Leicester City had conceded two goals in the first ten minutes of a game in the Premier League since 30 August 2003 at Aston Villa. Jamie Vardy had now created a new competition record of being on the losing side in eight games in a Premier League season when he had scored in each of those games. The Foxes had now failed to score in only one of their last 13 away games in the Premier League.
